Injinji Post of the Week - She told you so...

Posted by contests on 7/16/2007 in contests

We hate to say it, we really do. StellaTortoise even said she wasn't in the mood to hear it. But, you see...she told you so!

Community noob StellaTortoise started a blog on YourRunning.com last week detailing the road to her first marathon. A few days later, she embarked on a training run with her newly-joined running group, and ended up revisiting a lesson everyone should learn and no one should forget: listen to your mother!

After losing focus and realizing that she was paying too much attention to the runners around her instead of her own cadence, breathing and pace, she remembered her mother's sage advice: "Why are you worried about what everyone else is doing? You need to be your own person and do what's right for you." The result? Of course: success.

For helping to remind us of two very important lessons (1-listen to your own body and don't worry about others, and 2-always listen to your mother), we're awarding StellaTortoise with the Post of the Week! Injinji, our Post of the Week sponsor, will send her a pair of Injinji Performance Toe Socks.

More advice from Mom? Post it, and next week's pair of Injinji socks could be YOURS!
